I ran set COREHOST_TRACE=1 as well
Error:

the edge_coreclr is there:

.net 5 and 6 are both installed:

that's with this package version: 1.0.1-xx

edge-js (which this package depends on) seems to be expecting .NET <5. Could you try installing .NET 4.5 & letting me know if it works? If yes, I'll add that to the documentation, or see what I can fix.

installed using this link, had to uninstall 5 and 6 to get it to install
this is what is installed:

also attempted to install it with buildtools, closest version was 4.7

doesnt show up in programs list though
same error

@itzTheMeow

apologies for the confusion & late reply, this should fix the issue:

1. run the following in a terminal

dotnet --info

2. ensure under ".NET runtimes installed:", that a version of Microsoft.AspNetCore.App is installed (eg. Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 5.0.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App])
3. if there isn't a version of .NET Core (not .NET Framework) installed, you may download the runtime here (at the time of writing, it is under ".NET Core 3.1")

do let me know if this resolves the issue (:
